Okay, so, incels. They’ve got quite possibly the least amount of self awareness of any group of misogynists I’ve ever seen. A lot of them truly believe that everyone except them is having sex, and that they’re owed sex.

And when I say they believe they’re owed sex, I mean that in extreme cases there have been incels posting about wanting to fuck their sister/mom and in rarer cases, trying to get their sister/mom to fuck them and they’re angry about being rebuffed.

They see women as things, not human beings with desires and ambitions. They think women have no aim other than to hurt their feelings by fucking “Chads” (attractive men they think have a lot of sex with).

There’s not so much of a Madonna/whore complex with these guys, they genuinely believe women are all “sluts”, many believe that rape shouldn’t be considered a crime, and a lot of them try ridiculously hard to make people averse to them, simultaneously whining about lack of sex.

Their word for women is usually “femoid”, implying that women aren’t fully human and equal.

A lot of them are obsessed by the idea of the perfect girlfriend, a fellow virgin who wants to be completely subservient to them. In more extreme cases, they want an underage girl who has never masturbated. They want perfect “purity” and loyalty.

So yeah, there could be some correlation to purity culture with incels. Some of the things I’ve seen them write about women are gut-wrenchingly sick.

Wow. This is disturbing stuff. Just shooting from the hip: There must be some correlation between American Puritan roots, Evangelical purity culture and incel culture. It'd be interesting to find out if/how these cultures/influences all intersect & if they're fueling each other.

Some common intersections with these fellas is their total lack of self awareness, othering people they see as different, blaming the “others” for their failures and shortcomings, subordination of women, LGBT folx, and PoC, and disproportionate sense of entitlement.

Sounds like white Evangelical culture and incels might be (not so strange) bedfellows. Maybe because incel culture isn't, until recently, in the public discourse no one's explored these connections? Seems like a ripe topic for an interested scholar.

There are some overlapping talking points too. Many in the manosphere are atheists, but they talk about feminism and everything opposed to patriarchy as “cultural Marxism” in a similar way to how e.g. Franklin Graham equates secularism with communism.
